Cold storage and freezing facilities
These facilities are essential for preserving poultry at temperatures down to −28 °C. Equipment such as conveyors, fans and gearboxes must operate reliably under extreme cold, condensation and frequent cleaning. Conventional lubricants often thicken, wash out or cause leakage, leading to downtime, high energy use and hygiene issues.
Documented benefits
- Reliable lubrication down to −28 °C and below
- Up to 2–3× longer lifetime for chains and bearings in freezing areas
- No gearbox oil changes → lower downtime and maintenance cost
- Improved hygiene: no oil or rust dripping in cold storage
- Reduced energy consumption in cold storage drives
Failures and Interflon solutions
- Chains and conveyors – stiff operation, corrosion and rust due to condensation and sub-zero temperatures.
→ Interflon Food Lube G220: leaves a dry lubrication film with MicPol® technology, resistant to water, steam and freezing conditions. Prevents stiff operation and corrosion in conveyor chains inside freezers. - Bearings – grease thickening or washout, premature seizure in freezing zones.
→ Interflon Food Grease LT2: special low-temperature grease that remains fluid and protective down to −45 °C. Extends bearing lifetime in fans, conveyors and freezer drives, reducing relubrication needs. - Gearboxes – oil thickening, leakage, overheating and frequent oil changes.
→ Interflon Food Grease HD00: semi-fluid grease that replaces conventional gearbox oils in freezer drives. Eliminates oil thickening, reduces leakage, lowers operating temperature and removes the need for routine oil changes. - Hygiene risks – lubricant dripping or rust water contaminating frozen products, creating audit non-conformities.
→ Interflon Metal Clean F, Interflon Degreaser EM30+ and Power Wipess: remove frozen grease residues, rust and contamination without leaving harmful deposits. Support hygiene and HACCP/BRC audits.
All lubricants are PFAS-free and NSF H1 certified (Halal & Kosher). Cleaning products are PFAS-free and carry the appropriate NSF cleaner categories (e.g., A1/K1/K3). See product pages for the exact category.
